Abstract: The fact that there are quantum observables without a simultaneous measurement is one of the fundamental characteristics of quantum mechanics. In this work we expand the concept of joint measurability to all kinds of possible measurement devices, and we call this relation compatibility. Two devices are incompatible if they cannot be implemented as parts of a single measurement setup. We introduce also a more stringent notion of incompatibility, strong incompatibility. Both incompatibility and strong incompatibility are rigorously characterized and their difference is demonstrated by examples.

Review text

The concept of joint quantum measurability, closely related with that of compatible quantum observables, is expanded to encompass all kinds of possible measurement devices. The notions of incompatibility and next strong incompatibility are introduced for measurement devices. Both incompatibility notions are rigorously characeterized and their difference is demonstrated by examples of measurement models. Technically, the Stinespring representation theorem (and dilation) together with the Kraus decomposition theorem (and operators) are employed. The background for the quantum measurement methodology comes from \textit{T. Heinosaari} and \textit{M. Ziman} [The mathematical language of quantum theory. From uncertainty to entanglement. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2012; Zbl 1243.81008)].
